Family History Quilt
Doug and Jennifer went to the Exhibit of the International Art Competition of the LDS Church at the Conference Center in Salt Lake City, and saw this family history quilt there. It has sewn into the border some of our family names including; Chivers, Hunting, Hunt, Radmall, Kings, and Severn. Jennifer has sent a letter to contact the woman whose name was on the display for this quilt, her name is Caroline Ida Kolob who lives in California, to see if she made the quilt and to see if the family names are our family names. The art exhibit if huge, it has 200 displays. They say that it is so beautiful and free to go. Here are the pictures of the quilt.

Let It Snow...
We woke up yesterday to yet another few inches of that white stuff after it had taken us two days to shovel the last snow we had! But low and behold, help arrived.

Jennifers Christmas Memories
Here are my memories. One year things were pretty unhappy at our house at Christmastime. Mom knew just what to do, she loaded us in our very old station wagon, stopped at picadilly fish and chips, braved snow stoms and blowing snow across Strawberry and took us all to Grandma Ina’s house for Christmas. Some how Santa found us there, we were loved and happy. I know now that Grandma Angie just needed her Mom that Christmas but I am not sure she knew that I needed Grandma Ina too. Mom and dad were getting a divorce, I was old enough to know what was going on and still trying to work things out in my own mind as to how to respond to my dad. Well, he came to visit us on Christmas afternoon at Grandma Ina’s house, when he came in I saw my Grandmother welcome him with a hug and tell him that she loved him. I’am not sure how she did it when I know her heart must have been breaking inside for Mom. From her example I knew it was ok for me to still love my dad and it helped me a lot and I have reflected back on it many times.
Here is a funny memory, one year Mom was getting Dave a really cool ski coat, pants, glove, and hat that would match his new “K2 cheeseburger” skis. She had them on lay-a-way at Jerry’s sporting good. Well, Dave thought this might be the case but was not 100% sure, so he went over to Jerry’s and told them “my mom said to come over and try on the things she has on lay-a-way to make sure they fit”. The nice people at Jerry’s thinking they were doing the right thing got them right out, showed him everything and sure enough they fit! David is really sneaky.
Mom always made sure, somehow, that we always had a nice Christmas. I know she sacrificed so much to give us all she could. The best thing she ever gave any of us was her love, and the gift of teaching us to work hard, teaching us to be honest (unless we are talking about the last “TAB” hidden away in the fridge), and to serve and care for our families.
I love my Mother so very much, I hope to be half the person she is and wish her the very merriest Christmas ever this year.
Love,
Jen

Ashley and Izaiah
I was lucky enough to spend a couple of hours with Ashley and Izaiah a couple of weeks ago. I was able to hold and rock our little sweetheart and I can't tell you how happy that made me. Being with Ashley and watching her with her little guy was a special experience. She is such an outstanding young woman and such a strong mother. She is my hero. Our little Izaiah is such a beautiful little boy and we can hardly wait to have him home with us.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving. I loved having everyone for dinner at our new house. We have about 24 people seated a couple of little ones in their mother's arms. What fun cooking in my great new kitchen. Early in the day I took a couple of pictures, and wouldn't you know it! The batteries in my camera died! So you just have to take my word for it that we really did have guests for dinner. We loved using Grandma Ina's china. David couldn't believe I would use them!
Emily and Myka's Shower
The day after Thanksgiving Diane & Hannah gave a baby shower for Emily. Em's mom and sisters were here from Idaho and we all had lots of fun. Lots of baby talk and laughing, yummy treats and lots of adorable things for little Myka. The shower might have been for Emily, but MaeLee Ann really stole the show.
